So on Tuesday we all went on a pilgrimage to Kildare town, because it was saint Bridgid's day on February the first. First we went and watched a video about Kildare, there was a teleporting ghost in it.. That was interesting. Then we went to her church, which is now a protestant church. It was HUGE and we all got to ring the church bell and say a prayer, which I thought was very cool. Then I got to see St. Bridgid's 'Kitchen' which was basically an underground cave type room.
Then we went to see Bridgid's well, we had to bless ourself with the water and walk around the circle in the middle of it while saying a prayer. Then, there was a second well. In that well we walked around it while saying the rosary and then we said a prayer to Bridgid.
When that was finished, we all went to Kildare village, a outlet shopping mall/centre thing, and I got a starbuck and looked in a few shops and things.
I had a really good day, it was a pretty good experience and I'm glad to be able to say I've done it.
Byee,
Aoife.
